Mountainside K9

Mountainside K9 made the challenging puppy phase manageable. We had not had a dog in years, and with Michaela’s instructions and tips we were able to navigate the challenges of a new puppy much easier. We started with in house lessons at 10 weeks, and then group classes at 6 months. We have been able to walk off leash with proper recall since 6 months old, get rid of the crate at 8 months, and now we have our “old man dog” at a year and a half. Thank you Mountainside K9!

Mountainside K9 has been amazing to work with. Michaela is an amazing trainer who is very upfront and honest with you. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and tells you what needs to be corrected and guides you and your pup in the right direction. My puppy started at 5 months and has learned so much already. He is now 8 months and is thriving. If you are looking for a professional trainer, Mountainside K9 is the place to go!!

We love Mountainside K9! Michaela is so awesome and really knows how to handle dogs! She has made taking our dogs on walks so much more enjoyable! I recommend Michaela to EVERYONE I know!

When we got Knox, he was very shy and would always pull on walks. After just a few classes, Knox was starting to become a whole new dog. I would recommend Mountainside K9 to everyone. The training has allowed us to bring Knox to many places that we wouldn’t dare bring home before. We can now walk around town without a leash and don’t have to worry about him running away. If you need some extra help, the basic class alone does wonders.

Such an amazing experience and so much knowledge! Pictures of my pups staying in public places!

Mountainside K9 and Michaela have helped me to have a better relationship with my dog. She is extremely helpful with problems that have come up with Nyx. Currently our crate anxiety is getting so much better and we are looking forward to our next appointment. The private lessons offer great 1:1 time to go over issues and what to work on next. It gives us the ability to watch Michaela and understand what the next thing to work on is and to do it with Nyx and see if we are doing it right. She gives great feedback and is great to work with. I highly recommend.

We have used Michaela and Mountainside K9 for all our trainings with our dog Porter! Michaela is so knowledgeable about what our dog needs and the best ways to help us help him! I highly recommend her for any dog training needs! She has done wonders for us and our pup! We can’t thank her enough!

Michaela has been so responsive, patient, helpful and kind. I can't wait to see the finished results with my dog, our first meeting went extremely well. Her facility is impressive and she is so understanding and helpful. I feel so reassured leaving my pooch, I know he's in great, qualified hands. I will update when his training is over. Thank you so much for all your help!Update: My pup had an allergic reaction to his flea medication while he was with Mk9, they rushed him to the vet and saved his life. I'm so glad he was with someone responsible and knowledgeable when the worst happened. 3 months later, he is so obedient, calm and eager to please. She came to our home and even worked with him in the snow. He was one stubborn dog, now he's a calm and well behaved companion.

Mountainside K9 has been great in our training process. We have been working with Michaela in private training sessions for a few months to help our dog overcome his past. In this time we have seen such a huge improvement. The knowledge we receive is constant and so helpful. We definitely recommend!

Michaela, was amazing for my dog and I. She was honest, willing to meet our needs, and super helpful even at home via text message when I had a question. I will always take my dogs to classes with Michaela!
